When I count things that are all jumbled up like this, I like to cross them off as I count to help me keep up with my count. So go to your numbers and let's count these jelly beans. Sheep. You want to play with the sheep after this? Okay, so ready to count? Let's go to your numbers. Go to numbers. Excellent. And count. Put your pencil down. Let's touch and count. Ready? Go! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Oh, 7 jelly beans. So now you're ready. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. So you're gonna draw a line from the number 7 to the jelly beans. Very good, Cindy K.
